Best case

Seattle’s prized acquisition performs at an MVP level for his new club, hitting .330 with 30 home runs and providing the team with the offensive production it has sorely lacked in recent years. Cano boosts the performance of the entire club and attracts other marquee free agents to join the franchise. Also, inspired after being forced to watch “Field of Dreams” by new manager Lloyd McClendon, Cano runs full speed on every routine infield grounder from now until the end of his career, permanently freeing himself from any potential controversy regarding his lack of hustle.
